Details

The GenomicRanges, SummarizedExperiment, and
GenomicAlignments packages define and document methods
for various types of range-based objects (e.g. for
RangedSummarizedExperiment,
GAlignments,
GAlignmentPairs, and
GAlignmentsList objects).
Other Bioconductor packages might as well.

Note that these functions can be seen as a specific kind of object
getters as well as functions performing coercion.
